Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement about the school. We are midway into our second week and all is well. Staff and students are working hard to build an intense and fun learning environment.
We are grateful for any and all support. If you are coming down and interested in bringing supplies, we thank you! (or, if you are willing to carry something down, but are not able to invest in any supplies, contact me and I will send some supplies your way. Just carrying things saves us lots of money). Current needs are:
good books for our library (young adult classics, literary-level contemporary novels, biographies, non-fiction, books about the ocean)
college-level dictionaries
folders with brads
laptops
extension cords
printer toner - Brother TN360 (this is a CONSTANT need!):

musical equipment (especially for our guitar/bass guitar teacher)
an answering machine
And, if you are in a position to provide tuition support, you will make a life-changing impact for the student you sponsor:
